Bouncer brings by a phase shifter for Honey to use in the talent show. A phase shifter is a piece of electronic equipment that makes a voice or instrument sound like it's under water. The phase shifter becomes a metaphor for vaping and  tobacco use as well as alcohol and drugs, hence its use as the title.
